What should you know about this lot before spending serious money?

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $780,000 (21 May 2026).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 728 m² against a 102 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Medina (last 5 years) with land size: median $751/m² of land (n=160). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

  • InterpretationA large lot with a small dwelling means the value case rests on the land and what the zone allows on it, not the house.
  • FactZoned Residential (1) under the KWINANA.(Landgate SLIP · 30 Aug 2026)

What could make it worth less?

No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.

What should you verify next?

No verification items generated for this record.

Each line above is labelled. A fact is quoted from the named source, with its date. A calculation is worked out by Districts from those facts — you can check the arithmetic. An interpretation is Districts' opinion of what the evidence means, not a fact, a valuation, or advice. Anything we haven't retrieved yet is marked as missing rather than treated as a pass.

Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.

Capital growth

WA

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 728 m² — that is not official geometry. A suburb median or growth rate is not a reason this particular lot would outperform. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $542/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.

What competition will it face?

Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property. Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded. Suburb vacancy or leased-tape days are not this property’s competition.

What does the yield actually look like?

Confidence: low

Yield cannot be shown without both a price and a rent figure. Net yield is not estimated from gross advertising copy. Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Verdict

What this means for this property

Districts view

Not enough official evidence yet to underwrite this as an investment.

Detail

The same ten questions apply to every property. Missing flood, nearby DAs, achieved rents, or lot geometry is unknown — not “no.”

Do not treat a suburb median, an advertised yield, or a listing score as the case for this lot.

The evidence loaded so far isn't enough on its own to change a buy, offer, or walk-away decision for this property.

Evidence

What is known for this property

Districts asks the same ten questions of every property. If one shows as unknown, that data isn't published for this state or hasn't been loaded yet — the question stays visible so you can see exactly what's missing.

2 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 728 m² — that is not official geometry.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

  • Honest achievable rent

    Knownlow

    This is not “bond data says this address leases for $X.” The comparable figure is a suburb advertised/median rent, not this property. Official bond files (postcode or suburb × type × bedrooms) are not loaded yet.

  • Rental supply pressure

    Unknown

    Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.

  • Why is this cheap?

    Knownmedium

    Official parcel about 731 m² — land size can look like optionality. No material overlays were returned that would explain a discount. That is not proof the price is fair. Nearby DAs, easements, and flood-layer gaps can still explain a cheap-looking listing — those are not all loaded.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”

  • Catalyst exposure

    Unknown

    Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

  • This lot's DA history

    Unknown

    No DA adapter returned applications for this parcel.

  • Statutory land value versus ask

    Unknown

    Statutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Read the full description

Nestled away on a leafy and tree lined street, this updated 1950's cottage sits upon a spacious and well-maintained 728sqm block, providing extensive outdoor living, and a peaceful and private haven to enjoy. A large carport offers sheltered vehicle storage, with side access gates to the rear yard and additional parking potential beyond, while a workshop ensures an added benefit for many. The gardens to both the front and back provide plenty of space to relax, with a decked porch on entry to the home, and another decked platform to the rear for entertaining. Once inside your open plan living area surrounds the fully equipped and sizeable kitchen, offering a central hub to gather, while your three bedrooms are all well-spaced, with the master enjoying an ensuite for appeal. The main bathroom is placed between the second and third bedrooms at the rear of the property, with a utility area, study space or activity option to the rear, while the entire residence showcases plenty of original charm alongside its contemporary updates and upgrades throughout. Surrounded by green space, you have sweeping natural bushland, extensive parks and ovals, and a variety of sporting facilities on hand, with the local primary school just a quick stroll away for family living. The popular IGA and nearby café are easily within walking distance, with the fully stocked Kwinana Marketplace just a little further, along with a range of recreational appeal, while road and public transport links provide an ease of connectivity to the neighbouring area and further afield.

Nestled beyond established trees, with fencing to separate the property from the street, the vast front garden has been expertly created and maintained to offer a variety of trees, beds and greenery, with hidden walkways, secluded seating areas and a tiered level design to explore. A lengthy driveway extends beneath a huge gabled roof carport, allowing parking for a range of vehicles, with dual access gates to the rear yard beyond. While to the front of the elevated home, you find a peaceful porch to enjoy, with ample space for seating and decking to the floor. Security screening awaits to the front door, and once inside you enter directly to your open plan living area, with solid hardwood flooring, cooling overhead fans and an efficient reverse cycle air conditioning unit for comfort. Your kitchen is the centrepiece of the home, with its generous proportions allowing for a large array of storage and cabinetry within, while a freestanding island serves as a breakfast bar option and a prime opportunity to entertain. Plentiful bench space extends throughout, with a country style sink, an in-built stainless-steel oven, gas cooktop and rangehood and an open design that provides an 'eat-in' appeal.

Benefitting from high ceiling across the entire residence, the original charm is clear to see, while the modern updates have been executed seamlessly to ensure complete cohesion throughout. Your master suite is placed to the front of the home, with carpet underfoot, another ceiling fan and scenic views across the garden, with a complete wall of built-in storage, and an ensuite equipped with a glass shower enclosure, vanity and WC. A storage closet is placed opposite, before you continue onward to find bedroom no. 2, with that same carpet to the floor and ceiling fan overhead, while the main bathroom is placed to the rear. Equipped with a combined bath and shower with glass screening, your bathroom also contains the laundry for added functionality with both a vanity and second sink included, and a separate WC for convenience. An open space sits next door, with a multitude of uses available, including a utility area or office, while your third bedroom completes the interior with a raked ceiling and carpet to the floor.

A decked balcony or platform runs along the back of the home, with the elevated design allowing a tranquil setting to sit back and enjoy the view, while the fully fenced rear yard provides a substantial lawned area for play. Mature trees and greenery ensure a private space to relax, with another freestanding carport or patio within the garden, while you have hidden areas for growing the veggies, paved sections for seating and a garden shed for storage. While finally, a large workshop allows additional storage or work area, with a solar panel system already installed to aid in your energy efficiency.

And the reason why this property is your perfect fit? Because the combination of original character and contemporary upgrades ensure a welcoming residence to call home.
